I've been begging for a bigger screen since the iPhone 1. It was obvious from the outset that it was too small for browsing, email, basically anything that requires using the keyboard. I mean, look at how much screen the keyboard takes up on even the iPhone 5. Clearly the device is and always has been too small. Personally I was dissapointed by the timid size increase represented by the 5. The 6 and 6 Plus finally correct this long standing problem and the iPhone can finally be the thumb of the nose to the Newton Message Pad that Jobs intended it to be. The Safari Pad! iPhone 6. The true hand based computer (even though everyone's doing it now too.)
I disagree.
People change their mind you know. Plus, nobody was expecting the tsunami of super sexy content/services apps that has rushed into the ecosystem, thus increasing the value of larger screen real estate.
Funniest is that people like to label others! Yes, I have have changed my mind on screen size, and yes I am one of your "Hippocrates".
Are you happy now?
